How To Relieve Lower Back Pain Naturally -Become Clever In Your Approach

If you’ve ever suffered from a lower back pain, then you’ll know just how difficult it is, and can become. Luckily, You’re not alone in this process.

Millions of others are in your shoes, and I’m one of them.

You could have been a part of the following:

Been in an accident

Done too much repetitive movements

Had an illness

Or just weak muscles

Either way you look at it, there are ways of getting you back in shape naturally rather than choosing more invasive options, like surgery. Alternative therapies are majorly increasing, and you should take a dive right in.

The way you do the things that come to you naturally vs doing things naturally over time. are two different meanings…

One takes no time and little effort

The second takes some adjustment but its worthwhile in the end

Whether things come to you naturally or not is not the headline, it’s more so about what you will do moving forward with your bad back.

I found my calling, and ways to relive my lower back pain naturally. Here’s a picture of me and my family on new years 2018-2019.

I can for a fact say that there is no greater feeling than beating back pain at its own game. And like any tailwind of bad backs, it didn’t come naturally, but I learned and took the right steps to not only adapt in the short run, but to do it for the long term.

And now I’m at a point in my life where I want to ensure you can have the same success as I have.

There comes a point in your life where you’ll have to make a decision, and the wrong one can dig you further into a hole of:

Drugs

Depression

More aches and pain

And not to mention only a moment of relief

Acute Vs Chronic Inflammation., The Great Battle Royal

Have a look at this chart:

What I have here is a set of how acute inflammation and chronic inflammation work very different on your body. Acute pain is set on by fast occurring inflammation to your area of pain, as oppose to chronic inflammation, where it starts slow and steady. After about 2-3 days that pain will be at its most toughest peak, and with any move you make, it will cause pain.

Chronic inflammation can turn on your body, and it can lead to an increase in:

A heart attack

A stroke

Cancer

Alzheimers

And many more.

While many drugs do decrease the inflammation in your body, you should know that they are not safe to consume for an extended period. Drugs like NSAIDS and Opioids can both lead to blood clots, heart attacks, and strokes. Fortunately there are other ways to reduce the chance of using them, and they are:

Ice and Heat. This will help reduce your inflammation and the heat will promote better blood circulation all around your body.

Diet Change. Eating the right foods will help you decrease your chance of having to be dependent on drugs, and not to mention that you’ll be surprised at how much more things you can actually eat now.

Systemic Proteolytic Enzymes. They Break down your harmful Fibrin(scar tissue) from building up, and reduce any excess inflammation from getting through

Mind and Body Techniques. Stress is directly related to chronic inflammation and pain. So controlling that aspect will largely reduce your use for drug use.

The other parts that most people don’t talk about are short term vs long term relief. The definition of Insanity Is: Doing The Same Thing Over And Over Again, Expecting The Same Result. LISTEN CAREFULLY….

There is a difference between doing some natural to find relief and its a whole other thing to do and find the right relief doing them repetitively

What does this mean? Well most people that I speak with that have a bad back tell me: “Well I’m doing things naturally by exercising, trying to eat natural foods. using natural movements, and I’d ask:

Are you doing it on a consistent basis, and what are you trying? For example:

Its one thing to use a conservative treatment like a seat cushion and its a whole other to use a herbal medicine… Night and day.

With lower back pain its no surprise that we have to work on more areas than one, exercise, eating, mental habits, both do you ever hear about your doctors of medical professionals about how you should treat it naturally?

To an extent yes, but to have a fruitful better way to live and to say I’ve had enough with this lifestyle I’m living, you need to do all three consistently and consume natural remedies like herbs and others that I’m getting to in a moment.

What about If I have Just overcome a surgery?

Whether you have had surgery or at this stage in your life, its no different that you should approach treating your back naturally. In fact, its crucial that you do, otherwise you can end back up where you started.

The thoughts echoing and often more than not of:

The heck with! lets do surgery…

Comes to your mind. This is a self reflection of many of us.

But don’t worry if this is you, there are 1,000,000’s of other individuals worldwide dealing with a bad back. I want you to:

Pause

Step back

Re-evaluate

…And honestly listen to the other voice in your head yelling back….

Do I really need the surgery?

I know how difficult it can be to have the worst pain day to day, and then have pain that comes EXTREMELY one day, and leaves and becomes just mild the next. You know what that’s called?

9 times out of 10 you’ll want that surgery for your herniated disc or sciatica pain. I’m here to tell you, you’re not thinking naturally.

Consume Knowledge, Then Consume Natural Remedies

Up to this point I’ve talked to you about what it means to “naturally heal” , what acute vs chronic inflammation can do, and put away the doubts to the big surgery thoughts, and Now its time that I expose you to every Natural Treatment Option for a bad back available, with or without your current use of drugs.

The first thing your mind and body will tell you when you’ve encountered pain and inflammation is to:

take a seat

sit back

relax

“Chill out”

C’mon let your body take a rest right? This sounds ideal, but it’s the wrong approach, and here is why:

Your back is more than just your spine. Your hips, thighs, hamstrings, buttocks are all the reason you have pain.

Your posture and strength will weaken.

Your muscles need “strengthening and flexibility”, and the only way of doing that is by exercising. Depending on your exercise routine provided to you by your Physical therapist,yYou can do things like:

yoga

exercise

stretching

walking

swimming

Ofcourse, it’s a smart idea to work with your physical therapist 1 on 1, but there will come a time when its just going to be you at home, or if you decide to stop spending the HIGH cost of visit after visit.

You were brought to earth on natural terms, a healthy body, most likely a pain free back, but thereafter time made you derive from this entry way, and this brought on by:

bad habits

lack of discipline

distractions

Lifestyle Habits

I can relate very well, in fact after my injury it set me back from playing sports and doing the things I liked on the week day and weekday with my family and friends. To say my natural downfall really showed is an understatement.

Just like you were naturally put on earth, you were released to “happy” transmitters in your brain, called “endorphins” – hormones that your body will produce naturally.

When your neuroceptors and transmitters are triggered by exercising or from stretching, your brain relieves you of:

Stress. One of the causes of your lower back pain

Pain signals. Your brain blocks the pain signals from getting to it, and relieves you from going “OUCH”

Fog. Clears up your mind, so you have clear thoughts.

Here’s How to accomplish getting these feelings:

Yoga. Specifically designed stretching will prevent you from feeling stressed and in a loss. You won’t have to worry about tailored movements, and mobility because of this.

Massage therapy. Relieves your muscle knots, and tension.

Meditation. Clears up your mind, and gets your transmitters flowing.

Walking. A low impact exercise that will release endorphins naturally.

Water therapy. Another low impact activity that is great on your joints, and gives you a therapeutic feel.

I’ve actually used capsaicin cream, and it helped cut down pain signals as much as 40% of my pain. Yes I measured it. I spoke to a my practitioner for the assistance too.

How to do it:

One way to go about it is crushing up red peppers and adding them to your favorite cream or oil.

Natural way #10: Arnica, The Famous Plant

I’m betting on something you didn’t know:

Every oil and cream you rub onto your lower back most likely carries Arnica. The ingredient is properly extracted from a plant that grows in:

The northern United States

Canada

The European Alps

It’s a plant that is an ingredient of topical creams and relief remedies that when you use it right, it will make your every daily task like working much easier.

In the meantime, while you’re in the process of healing use arnica to prevent the use of drugs and side effects.

The first common line of remedy is painkillers like ibuprofen, would you agree? or naproxen, but we will not go that far deep into the list. Overuse of these painkillers can cause serious side effects. The longer it gets used, you increase the risk of:

bleeding

ulcers

blood pressure

severe allergic reactions

strokes

heart attacks

Doesn’t sound friendly, more like the friend-emy(that turns on you). That’s where arnica montana comes in. Here’s more on that…

How it helps:

Relieves arthritis

Joint pain

muscle soreness

swelling

How to do:

Most arnica can be found in creams, and gels

It’s a great homeopathic, and one I’m using every time. I’ve been doing it since I had my fall. Most people Don’t know the power of arnica, and those who do haven’t found how to combine it with the best natural ingredients in one can.

This is an enzyme that’s found in pineapples. Its a special natural compound extracted from a pineapple, and it contains proteloytic enzymes that will promote for you healthy levels of biochemicals. What it does best is:

This Southeast Asia and Indian Spice has the remedies to turn your inflammation from appearing to vanishing. But Don’t think you can just eat the root and spice and you’ll feel better. You need to think about getting more milligrams, a higher dosage of it.

How to use:

Turmeric can be found to work best in its supplement form. Herbal remedy supplements are great for anyone and even more so for those of us that want something quick, safe, and can relieve acute, chronic, and sciatica pain.

There’s no way CBD oil couldn’t have made it onto my list. CBD itself is a extracted from its parent via the Hemp Plant. When its extracted by what’s called dillution, all the natural healing agents come off of it.

What CBD oil does so well is that it acts as a mind(neuropathic) stimulant, in which it blocks the pain signals from getting to your brain. So if you have nerve pain or nerve damage, CBD oil would work perfectly at preventing any sensation.

I have an article that talks all about CBD oil for back pain, and I go even further by talking about what CBD is, if its for you and not. You can find that in my cbd article here.

Natural way #19: Talk Therapist Talk

Talking to a therapist about your lower back problems is proven to “greatly” reduce your cognitive and lower back pain.

As much as 59% of people have reduced their own lower back pain, insanity!

How it helps:

Focuses on your cognitive behavior

Changes your thought pattern

How to do:

Set an appointment with a talk therapist

Talk to a great friend

Natural way #20: Focus your brain

I wanted to make sure I ended this with “Focusing Your Brain – The most missed element”.

Why I say that is because what you think is pain, most of the time is what’s “exhausted” in your brain. In other words…

Your pain is not absolute.

My chronic lower back pain patients, it’s absolutely necessary we carry a “cool head”, and think with our logic and not our emotions. Everyone experiences a different level of pain, therefore is subjective.

What you can do right now:

Focus on a visual sensation. Think about an image that brings you happiness, and pleasure.

Do simple activities. Turn on the Television, crack open a laugh and derive your attention away. Read a book, listening to a tape, music, talking to a friend

I’m all in for music, and I use it to help me out all the time. It’s great for when I have to get in a workout because it pushes my attention away from my pain and into the activities at hand.

For all you’ve been going through, you’ll need a mentor other than myself, and for that I’m literally handing you my own copy of “Healing Back Pain By MD Dr. John E Sarno. His methods work to drive the pain away from your brain by using TMS.

Live by, and breathe by it, and you’ll see the changes in your life.

What’s The Best Thing You Can Do?

Everyone senses pain differently, so carrying out an action varies…

I can tell you from my experience I took more time than I need to figure things out…

When I found out about my disc degeneration and a possible herniated disc, I had trouble even thinking about alternative remedies and natural ways to heal, I was exercising and stretching, but I knew it was not enough. Yes, there are ways to calm down your inflammation this way, but the best thing I ever did was try all.

So my advice to you is start with one at a time and see how well it responds to your body. This is not so much about your age, and if one will work more over the other, that’s rather a preference.

I will say this though, for the younger folks, its becoming more about essential oiks and cbd oil. So if you’re going to gravitate in that direction, do so, but make sure that you take care of the other aspects in your life and don’t forget about:

exercise/stretching

eating healthy

mental habits

I call it the Square of Life to a better life. If you can do all then great. From my experience and what I’ve helped older and younger folks treat their lower back naturally, I can categorize in a step-by-step action plan:

Action Plan #1

For Acute Pain:

Regardless of the natural remedies you try, remember that the 4 squares of life need to best stick together(exercise, eating, mental habits). Now maybe you don’t have a really bad back, but you should still focus on all areas. Here what to do as far as natural remedies re concerned:

Combine herbs with turmeric and curcumin. Use essential oils if necessary, they do cost a little higher, so make sure you are prepared to invest the time with them. But once you do, they will quickly replace the use of NSAIDS.

Action Plan #2

For Chronic Pain:A

Keep to the 4 squares of life, and the types of natural remedies to consume would be:

Herbs, essential oils, CBD oil. I’ve learned that when you combine herbs for eating, reducing inflammation and sciatic pain with essential oils that massage and work from the outside in work phenomenal. Where CBDs can come into the picture are if you’re trying to stay away from the use of Opioids, and or you just want to reduce chronic pain in general.

For Older folks, I have taken notice that they are more set in their ways, they don’t like being told what to do, and don’t hate me if its you, just tough love. But instead of essential oils, they are more lenient on Herbs and everything else in between.

When you have Chronic Lower Back Pain and Sciatica, it’s always best to start at the top of the list and work your way down. If your pain is GREATLY, then it’s best to begin and end by:

Seeing your Physical therapist

Chiropractor

Getting good sleep

Eating anti-inflammatory foods

Here’s a greater discovery…

I’ve read a lot of books in my life, as I’m always curious on how to help people relieve conditions that I may not have.

And so in the last two years of recovering from my own pain , I found a free book that completely helped a close family member battling with severe Arthritis find lasting relief naturally. In a a matter of moments, she was honestly a new person.

In it, was all the best tips and advice to revers your arthritis pain, and why most doctors NEVER offer you these pain-reversing solutions. Read here for arthritis reversed.

Hi My name is Michael Granados, I am of the age of 26 years, and I’m a back pain specialist, enthusiast, and expert. All of us have had or will have lower back pain at least once in our lives, and whether it’s acute or a more chronic condition, you can depend on us here at Remove Back Pain to take great care of you. I ensure you’ll take the right and most appropriate steps for you to heal the safest and most productive way. Get ready for a better lifestyle!

I have backpain problem after long term carrying and breast feeding my baby, and my mother in law has serious back pain too! I will share this with her and I will definitely check out how to strengthen my back muscles. Great info like drink water and eat tumeric for the backpain. I studied psychology and I know how our mind can often trick us! Great read!

I see how your back could be affecting you, the spine tends to push its self out of alignment, pushing itself towards the belly. What happens is that your spine goes into what’s called kyphosis, where your spine gets pushed out, and begins to bend. That would be phenomenal! Just as a reminder, there are links highlighted that serve to go to some of my other articles, where you can learn about muscle imbalances,and how to strengthen with exercise and stretching. Water is always overlooked because we don’t think its nutritious, and how well it lubricates and hydrates our disc. Turmeric is by far the best herb for back pain. When you can combine it with curcumin, black powder, or any other aid, you’ll have a recipe for awesome healing powers. Nice! Unfortunately, lower back pain affects us mentally and our emotions are a huge driving factor for pain, especially chronically. Thank you.

Thanks god I found this article because I want to know why my lower back feel little pain! I see your article it said too much repetitive movement but I don’t need surgery! I love the way you put lessons telling how to solve your lower back pain by activate! I would like you send me this article so I can use this word in future to let people know so people can decide to get surgery or not.

I’m glad you found my article just in time! Too much repetitive movement in the wrong manner is bad for your lower back, but if you do the right ones in your day to day normal activities, like stretching, and walking, then you will be on the right track. I’m glad surgery is out of the picture, you always want to try your alternatives before even heading in that direction. Activity is crucial for optimal success, you can’t expect your back to get better just by adding a pain relief cream, a pill and then it’ll go away on its own forever. While they do help, it just repeats the process, and exhaust your options.That would be great! Just let me know what I can do, and how to do so. And if you ever need any help, you know you can talk to me. Thanks.
